一般将来时
(1)一般将来时表示将来某一时刻的动作、状态以及打算。该时态一般与表示将来意义的时间状语连用,如tomorrow(明天),this month(本月), the day after tomorrow(后天),next week (下周), in two days' time(两天之后), from now on(从现在起),in the future(将来)等。
(2)一般将来时的形式为 will/shall+ 动词原形。
will可用于所有人称,但shall仅表示单纯将来时用于第一人称I和we,作为will的一种替代形式。
否定缩写: shan't =shall not, won't =will not:
I shan't leave tonight. I'll leave tomorrow.
今天夜里我不走。我将于明天离开。
They won't go to London this weekend.
这个周末他们不去伦敦。
此外,will除了表示纯粹的将来时间外,还表示说话人的意图和意愿,而shall除了表示将来时间外同时还表示说话人的责任或决心。
(3)除了will/shall外,还可以用其他方法表示将来。在口语中,be going to比 will/shall更为普通,用来表示说话人的意图或打算。如:
She is going to travel by air.
她打算乘飞机旅行。
也可用来表示有迹象某事即将发生。如:
It's going to rain.
将要下雨了。
(4)可与将来时连用的时间短语有:
今天:
this morning/afternoon/evening今天上午/下午/晚上tonight今夜
明天:
tomorrow morning/ afternoon/evening明天上午/下午/晚上
后天:
the day after tomorrow后天
the night after next后天夜里
其他:
in the morning在上午
in the afternoon 在下午
in the evening在晚上
